Spanish Bay Back In The Dock
Just like Rafaello, Spanish Bay is resuming in Friday’s $125,000 Kranji Stakes A race over 1200m, and coincidentally after being sidelined by the same ailment - bone chips.
While Ricardo Le Grange’s Rafaello, who is back after a six-month layoff, had chips taken out from his near fore fetlock, Spanish Bay was even worse off as he had the dreaded “floating fragments” removed, also via surgery, from both fetlocks. He was on the outer for 10 months.
Peters has booked former two-time Singapore champion apprentice jockey Shafiq Rizuan for the comeback run of the former Group 2 Singapore Three-Year-Old Classic winner.
